Travel Guide – Vancouver, Canada

this is watchmojo.com and I’m Louis I’ll
be profiling Vancouver a pretty
sophisticated and ethnically diverse
place it’s consistently rated as one of
the top places to live in the world why
is that where did it start it was all of
the Hudson’s Bay Company fur trading and
defining of gold along the Fraser River
that put it on the map in the first
place if trail to the Burrard Inlet was
built the first of his kind along with
it and the Canadian Confederation came a
sailor by the name of Captain John jassi
Jack dighton thanks it was popular gas
town was given this name to honor his
talkative tendencies not his
flagellation as the name suggests he
came for the gold but never really found
enough to strike it rich what he did
find he invested into the Burrard Inlet
today if you visiting Hoover you can
take a tour of gas town free of charge
and check out all that stuff with over
two million people thank you was
obviously a really big place there’s
lots to do lots to see it’s one of the
only cities in Canada where you can scan
the mountains and swim in the sea all in
the same day artists and designers find
their inspiration on Commercial Drive
and young professionals can soak up the
chic vibe of yaletown if you’re in the
city you have to check out granville
island market it’s one of my favorite
places it’s home to a really big public
market it’s got lots of really cool
vendors also Robson Street is the
shopping destination of the city pretty
rough on the credit card but it’s a good
time if you’re wanting something a
little more serene you can go to Stanley
Park a massive green space right in the
middle of the city do some jogging get
your Zen back and you cultural gurus out
there I know you’ll be interested to
know that Vancouver has one of the most
authentic Chinatown’s around it’s big
and it’s waiting for you all you
athletes out there you can jog up the
Grouse Grind it sounds easier than it
really is the rest of us will walk up
but the view is breathtaking when you
get to the top let’s save some energy
the nightlife in Vancouver is also
pretty pumping you barstarzz and
nightcrawlers can hit it up on granville
street if you’re traveling to vancouver
in the summer i highly recommend the bar
peach festival it’s a great
Shakespearean festival which is unique
to Vancouver but there’s also some great
all season round trips that you can do

suspension bridge it’s a bridge elevated
hundreds of feet up naturally
breathtaking and it’s open all year

authentic Chinese guard and dr. Sun
yat-sen classical Chinese garden it’s
the first of its kind outside of China
and it’s gorgeous warm summer’s bring
out the Vancouver rights and the
tourists full-fledged waiting for all

winters their home to the lush greenery
that surrounds Vancouver and makes it so
beautiful also home to some of the best
